but i think there is also going to be a point where the coolant temp will not be able to have an effect on the oil's temperature since the oil is the only fluid that is actually inside the engine and touches the parts that are involved in the combustion process
even with EGI, often have a mechanism to preheat intake air in cold weather
The only reason for that coolant heating the throttle body on the EFI model is to heat the thermal wax to slowing open the butterflys in the throttle for easy cold starting....it works like a choke on a carb'd car. A popular mod to remove the thermowax and coolant running to it. And ofcourse, remove the restrictor butterflys in there as they can obstruct flow some. The gain in flow is small so its not that great of a mod to do unless you live were the temp is allways high because you have to feather the throttle more while its warming up. But other then that, the intake in NOT heated as there is no hole in the rotor housings for the EFI 6port engines for coolant flow. Also, you have the subzero starting assist that injects a small amount of antifreeze on very cold days also, but is not heated of course.
Don't presume that one person's driving conditions are everyone's driving conditions.
